Not too much has been going well for the San Francisco Giants lately, but Bruce Bochy is still managing to put smiles on people's faces.

A day after the Giants suffered a heartbreaking walk-off loss to the Padres in San Diego as they make a desperation push in the NL West, Bochy spread cheer to a lucky Giants fan who showed up early to Petco Park for Thursday's game.

Seeing the fan, 11-year-old Noel, before the game, Bochy brought her into the dugout and let her sit in on his pregame briefing with the media.
